30 Years of Fischerstube Local History Museum

The Fischerstube in Mönkebude opened in May 1996 — on International Museum Day 2026, Sunday, May 18, the museum looks back on 30 years of history. Nets, fish traps, tools, and photos tell of the hard and proud work of the Haff fishermen; since 2000, exhibits have also depicted the elements that have shaped life in the village and the region on the Stettiner Haff.

Mönkebude — Village, Harbour, Haff

Mönkebude was first documented in 1244 — as the Slavic settlement Doblowitz, founded by monks from the Grobe monastery on Usedom (hence the name: "Mönchsbude" or "Monks' Dwelling"). Today, the village is a state-recognized health resort, with a harbour and bathing beach on the southern shore of the Stettiner Haff, within the Amt am Stettiner Haff (Vorpommern-Greifswald district, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).

Anniversary Programme

For its 30th anniversary, the Fischerstube combines special guided tours with a farmers' market in the village center. Regional producers from the Amt am Stettiner Haff will offer fish, honey, baked goods, and crafts. The event aims to foster encounters between the village community, summer guests, and museum friends — in the spirit of a North German local festival.

What the Fischerstube Displays

The exhibition focuses on Haff fishing and the history of Mönkebude as a fishing village and seaside resort. The building also serves as a tourist information center, arranging accommodation, bicycle rentals, and fishing licenses — a typical small, multifunctional village cultural center, characteristic of many Haff and Bodden coastal communities.
